Gearing up when you hit 100

As of now, you've most likely been questing in Nagrand and have a mixture of 590-610 gear. You'll want to get higher level gear (630, 645, 655, 665, etc.) but don't really know the best way to go about getting it. My intended audience is the PVE player who wants to gear up for Raids, or wants to gear up without Raiding.

In this guide, I will give guidance on the best way to plan for getting that gear, such that you won't have to work it all out yourself.

Finish up Nagrand

If you hit 100 before finishing up all the questing and Rare finding in Nagrand, go back and finish it up. Note that some of the rares (the level 100s) can be really punishing, so make sure you're prepared for them.

Apexis Crystals

This is the currency in WoD that is replacing Valor for purchasing gear. Note that there are no rep requirements to buy gear with Apexis Crystals, you just need the Crystals. The Crystals drop off certain mobs and are also from certain quests. See 에펙시스 수정

Apexis Crystals are now used to purchase, and upgrade Baleful gear (650) to 695.

You buy 힘이 깃든 에펙시스 파편 to upgrade the Baleful gear to 695. Note that this is Account Bound. So you can grind Apexis on one character, and send to another character to upgrade their gear. This is great for gearing up alts.

Note that 650 Baleful gear can also drop off mobs in Tanaan Jungle. Also see Shipyard, for another way to get Baleful gear.

Gold is used to purchase the old Apexis 630, 645, 655, and 675 gear.

The Alliance Vendors are in Stormshield. There is a vendor each slot of gear (Helm, Leggings etc.):

Crafted Gear

You can only equip 3 pieces of Warlords crafted gear that has the Warlords Crafted (3) tag on it. This is every piece of high level gear that can be crafted.

Most Crafting can produce level 640 gear. They can then produce items to increase it by 15 levels up to a max of 685. The exception is weapons, shields, and off-hand, crafted by Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Inscription. They start at 630, and can be upgraded to by 15 levels up to a max of 675.

In 6.2, they added 2 more levels of upgrade. Armor can now be upgraded to 700 and 715. Non Armor can be upgraded to 690 and 705. This is using the new 6.2 item 지옥오염물 that you get from Mining, Skinning, Herbing and Fishing in Tanann Jungle. See 지옥오염물 for more ways to acquire it.

Garrison Missions

Other Garrison missions (that you send Followers on) can reward you with gear ranging from 615 - 670 (or more if RNG gives you Warforged). There are 4 Tiers of missions that you can send your followers on, once you have geared them up. As your followers get higher level, you can get missions that reward 655 and 670 gear. These appear once every two weeks.

Click on the vendors, click 'sell', and sort by Slot and Type. Then look to see what your class can get.

Valor

용맹 점수 is back in 6.2.3. It can be used to upgrade Mythic Dungeon, HFC, Crafted, Kazzak, and Balful gear. Each upgrade costs 250 용맹 점수 and gives an additional boost of 5 item levels. You can upgrade each piece twice. Note that you can't upgrade Timewarped gear, so it's probably just best as a filler until you get/want to get higher than 675 gear.

Just click on 용맹 점수 to see how to obtain it. There are many different ways.

Dungeons

There are 4 level 100 Dungeons.

From the Normal versions of the Dungeons, you can get 615 gear.

From the Heroic versions of the Dungeons, you can get 630 gear. Note that you need the Silver Proving Grounds Achievement to be able to queue for level 100 Heroic Dungeons.

From the Mythic versions of the Dungeons, you can get 685 gear. You also need Silver Proving Grounds to queue for these.

Timewalking Dungeons

These are a great way to gear up. When the event is active, you run either BC or WOLK Timewalking dungeons, which have a chance to drop 660 and 675 gear.

You get 시간왜곡의 훈장 from the dungeons too, and 500 시간왜곡의 훈장 the first time through the event. You can spend these to buy 675 Hands/Feet/Neck/Chest/Ring/Trinket.

The vendors are 쿠프리 in Shattrath for the BC Timewalking event, 오진 in Dalaran, and 키아트크 in Stormwind City/Orgrimmar for the Cata event. Just click on the vendors and sort buy slot and type to see what you can get.

LFR

You can queue for Highmaul LFR with iLvL 615. The gear that drops is 645. You can re-roll for loot once per boss per week with 담금질된 운명의 인장. The Wings are Walled City, Arcane Sanctum, and Imperator's Rise.

You can queue for Blackrock Foundry LFR with iLvL 635. The gear that drops is 655. There is also the chance to get minor Tier gear of 660 in BRF. As before, you can re-roll for loot once per boss per week with 담금질된 운명의 인장. The Wings are Slagworks, Black Forge, Iron Assembly, and Blackhand.

You can queue for Hellfire Citadel LFR with iLvL 650. The gear that drops in 675-685. You can re-roll here with the currency 필연적인 운명의 인장

Note that 무라딘 브론즈비어드/대군주 사울팽 (a visitor to your garrison), offers a weekly quest (for one of the Raid wings). Completing the wing rewards you with 상급 현상 수배 보상. This contains a 645 token, and has a rare chance to be a 655 token, for gear.

The Legendary Ring

You can get a level 640 ring, and then upgrade it to 680, but running the Legendary Ring quest line.

It starts with 배신자의 첨탑 where you need to run the Skyreach dungeon (either Normal or Heroic) to get Pure Solium Band from High Sage Viryx.

After you go back to Kadghar and hand in the quest, you are given 카드가의 임무. This rewards you with the 640 ring.

Patch 6.1 Gearing

6.1 changes are incorporated into the body of the guide.

Patch 6.2: Tanaan Jungle

Just doing Tanaan Dailies, killing rares, and killing mobs in Tanaan jungle, you'll get a good amount of Baleful gear. This is level 650-695 gear. What makes it really good though, is that you can buy an upgrade item that will upgrade a piece of Baleful Gear to 695.

And, if the right piece of Baleful gear isn't dropping for you, you can buy baleful gear from:

Recommendations for gearing up Alts

The way I recommend gearing up alts is using Baleful gear, and upgrading to 695 with the Baleful Tokens. If you're doing the Shipyard on your main characters, you'll have tons of Baleful gear waiting for your Alts when they hit 100. Even duplicates are good, to see if they proc higher than 650. Note that you should not use crafted gear for the slots that can come from Shipyards. So, don't use crafted gear for Shoulders, Waist, Feet, Hands, or Neck. Also, get the Apexis on you mains to buy the Baleful tokens, and mail them to your Alts. To get more Baleful items for your Alts, send them to Tanaan and get them doing the daily quest etc. In no time, they'll get some drops, or be able to buy a couple of pieces for 5K Apexis each.

In no time, your alts will be 670-690 and doing whatever content you want them to do.

I've just given you an overview of how to gear up, and provided some information on what you can get. wowhead also has done a gearing guide that is more extensive than mine.

Excellent stuff Sir! Your "Gearing at 90" was invaluable for me as a returning WoW player at the end of MoP and this looks to be another really useful guide. Thanks for the time you've taken to do it.

Updated with a section on the Legendary Ring, that I realized I had omitted.

Just as an fyi, if you completed the Proving Grounds quest during MoP you wont get another item when you complete it for WoD. Tested it on 4 toons. Two that had completed P.G. during MoP and 2 that hadn't.

Leveled and geared 4 toons now. Quickest way: PvP gear. It no longer has PvP power or res. on it so it is a fine start for both pvp and pve.

Save resources and build a Dwarf Bunker first as it has a chance to upgrade items (green>blue, blue>epic) that you loot. Then build a trading post to keep the resources coming in with little effort. Then build a level 3 town hall, and then a Glad Sanctum.

Go to Ashran. Do the four side zones daily for easy honor. Loot everything. Kill the main boss once a day for easy honor, conquest, a box with gear in it, and artifacts. Stop and turn in your artifacts constantly as you lose half if you die. This will give you a ton of honor.

Artifacts = honor = gear.

Super fast way to gear. Don't even have to run BGs.

Great summary of sources, would be even better if there were a quick 2d chart showing which sources had which slots for 'everyone', but I can see where that might grow too complex, very quickly. :)

A typo that confused me for a sec:

"Not that some of the rares (the level 100s) can be really"should be"Note that some of the rares (the level 100s) can be really"

You should add a note that states only 1 world boss per week will give loot. You can do all of them but only 1 will give the first kill of the week. Like if you kill Rukhmar the others won't drop loot but you can also use a coin any time.

All updated for 6.2. See the changelog for details. If someone can look over the PvP section, to make sure I'm not missing anything, I'd really appreciate it.

As of the pre-patch, Kazzak drops higher level loot. Not sure of the exact iLvLs, but I've received a 725 piece, and a 721 piece on a couple of characters.

lankybrit의 댓글

Sorry about not updating the guide for the pre-patch. I'll just tell you here what to do. Do the Broken Shores scenario and get a few 685 pieces. Then do Invasions, Invasions, Invasions. Get 700 loot dropped from the Invasion boxes, and buy the other pieces you need with Nethershards. This is only available for the next 8 days, so get to it.
